Book Description:
This book focuses on how you identify and manage other people’s political behavior at work and, to some extent, how you manage your own political behavior as well. In writing the book, I am not seeking to advise you, the reader, on how to handle your workplace relationships, but rather to offer you my experiences and know-how as someone who has coached and worked with hundreds of clients on these issues. In addition to reading this book, you might want to seek the services and professional advice of a coach, business psychologist or consultant, each of whom should be able to offer you tailored, detailed and impartial counsel on the more challenging interpersonal and intrapersonal issues you might face at work.
